None of these options, amongst other suggestions Ive found are fixing my issue. I also I cant update my wireless adapter, and it didn’t help to uninstall it and restart the computer.
When I open properties on it, it says “this device cannot start” (code 10).

I have no idea what happened, just turned my laptop on like any other day and now no wifi…

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I’ve only had the laptop a few months, bought it brand new $1400 laptop, I feel like it shouldn’t be having issues. I don’t really even use it for anything other than gaming on steam…

There might be an issue with the Wifi Adapter, to ensure that, put the computer in safe mode and check if it helps. If it doesn’t, the Wifi adapter might be faulted
